No Macs, so can't be sure, but it looks like you can do the same for MacOS.

Where are you doing the blocking? Ours seems to work in "Restrictions".

Borderlands (Cinema) I have not played any of the games (though I have 1 & 2) so can't comment on whether it's a good adaptation. As a film, it's not as bad as the reviews would suggest but neither is it particularly good. Mme LeMarchand fell asleep and I drifted off a couple of times, but both of us have been very busy of late! Not a cinema trip. Oh, and they seem to have over-sprayed Cate Blanchett's hair as her face was looking stiff, too.

A few days? That's some impressive partying! Especially for someone your age.

Ricky Stanicky (Prime) Trailer NSFW. For years, three best friends have been using a made-up friend, Ricky Stanicky, to get out of things they don't want to do, or go to events that their partners would not be happy about them attending. Eventually they have to present Ricky and hire an actor to play the part, but the actor decides he likes being Ricky more than he likes his own life. While it's hard to sympathise with the trio at first, you eventually get into the movie. Not a classic, but does have some laugh out load moments. If you're looking for a comedy on Prime, you could do worse.
-
Deadpool & Wolverine (Cinema) The Merc with the Mouth is back, and he needs Wolverine to help him save the multiverse. Entertaining, but you will need a basic knowledge of the Fox (and other) Marvel movies as well as the MCU and some of the core ideas in Loki to get the most from it. Plus knowledge of one actor's long-cherished dream and another's casting rumours for a couple of the cameos. Far too many fights and the very crude humour gets a bit wearing, but worth a look if you're already interested. A bit hard to discuss without giving too many spoilers but some of the cameos were brilliant.

Trigger Warning (Netflix) Jessica Alba (who is now 43!!!) stars as Parker, a Special Ops type who returns to her small home town after her father dies, only to find that her father's death may have been a murder and there is corruption in the town. The sort of thing that you would have found on the bottom shelf of the video store back in the day. Not as bad as some of the reviews/internet commenters would make out, but hardly great - I forgot I'd watched it! Still, about the same as the Chuck Norris films it has a call out to.
-
Make Me Believe aka Sen İnandır (Netflix) Magazine editor Sahra is in the running for a big promotion... if she can land the interview with a reclusive photographer she has promised. A visit to her matchmaking grandma leads her to the photographer, but things get complicated. Less the romcom the trailer suggests, it's more of a romcom unless I'm missing Turkish humour. All right, but very predictable. Anyone who has watched "The Protector" (Hakan: Muhafız) may recognise star Ayça Ayşin Turan who played Leyla in that show.
-
Norsemen (Netflix) Just finished the first of three six episode seasons of "Norsemen", a Norwegian but filmed in English 30 minute comedy. Only occasionally laugh out loud funny, but always amusing.
-
The ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (Prime Video) WW2: An unconventional team is assembled to take out the supply chain that enables the U boats to operate across the Atlantic so that the Americans aren't too scared to enter the war. Not sure why this came in for such stick, it's a fairly decent "men + woman on a mission" movie with Guy Ritchie reigning in some of his worst excesses. Henry Cavill isn't as OTT as the trailer makes it look. Not destined to be a classic, but worth a watch if you have Prime.

Not on site this week to have a play, which probably isn't much help to you!

Never done it in Edge. Do you need the < brackets >?

I assumed it was to obscure the real IP, but good point if not. I used http://NameOfServer/NameOfPAC.pac and got this:
-
Possibly turn off auto-detect and test? IIRC if you use the URL of the PAC, it should show the contents in the browser.
-
My code had a wildcard at the end of each potential match, e.g.: //If specific URL needs to bypass proxy, send traffic direct// if (shExpMatch(url, "http://servhdsk*")) { return proxy_no; } Thinking about it, that should also mean if (shExpMatch(url, "servhdsk/osTicket")) { return proxy_no; } is redundant. I also had a couple of "local" exceptions: if (shExpMatch(url, "http://Sch.ool.IP.*")) { return proxy_no; } if (shExpMatch(url, "http://localhost*")) { return proxy_no; } Otherwise that seems OK, unless you need to use https as well these days. I'm sure that, even back then, the LA stuff was on https and that PAC seemed fine. IIRC the pac needed to be addressable as http/s: as some browsers didn't like file/UNC paths. I used to test on a laptop and the hotspot to my phone to simulate "home" use.

SDCC Star Trek: Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, Section 31
LeMarchand posted a topic in TV & Movies
LD Final Season Teaser: SNW First look: Section 31 Teaser. Now a movie rather than a series, presumably because Michelle Yeoh can't actually manage to be in everything, everywhere, all at once:-
- lower decks
- section 31

My Spy: The Eternal City (Prime Video) Sequel to "My Spy". Dave Bautista is back as JJ, and now he's grown some hair, oh - and is now officially Sophie's adoptive father. He's taken a desk job, but his skills are needed when terrorists steal a nuke and intend to blow up the Pope and Sophie's choir. Watched this in two halves as we both fell asleep. I remembered to pre-adjust the picture for the second attempt (Prime stuff often looks weird on our TV at the same settings that seem to work well elsewhere) and the last third seemed an improvement on the first two thirds, but still not one to waste your time on.

[tv trailer] The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
LeMarchand replied to 6Foot2's topic in TV & Movies
It's ComicCon time. -
Twisters (Cinema) Less a sequel than a "reimagining", this is a fairly effective disaster/action flick. Lacks the "wow" factor of the original, but worth a look when it hits the streaming service of your choice.
-
I did. There's usually a couple in the local British Heart Foundation store.

We used to put our PACs in C:\inetpub\wwwroot of our WSUS server as http:///.pac seemed to work. You're way better off going transparent if you can. If not, the pac used to have a "Check IP address and if at school use proxy, if not, go direct" flow. I could only find later ones that occasionally get used to block access for particular users or at certain times. If you can't go transparent I can see if I can dig a more relevant one up. Edit: I was bored. function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { //Variable strings to return var proxy_no = "DIRECT"; //If specific URL needs to bypass proxy, send traffic direct // if (shExpMatch(url, "http://Wherever")) { return proxy_no; } if (shExpMatch(url, "http://corp-intranet.LEA*")) { return proxy_no; } // If at school, use proxy if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "***.***.***.***", "SubnetMask")) return "PROXY Proxy:PORT"; else return "DIRECT"; }
